Wine Making

The Pinot Gris was harvested at full ripeness to gain rich flavours and texture. The bunches were gently destemmed without crushing and soaked on skins for 4 hours prior to air bag pressing.  Fermentation temperature was held between 15 and 20˚C to retain natural fruit aromatics.

Palate: A rich but lively palate of crunchy pear and lemon complimented by floral and peach notes.  A long clean backbone of bright cool climate acidity and minerality gives elegance and length.
